Pocket Projector
blog post via /.
Video projectors able to project high-quality images will be embedded in your cellphones and laptops within two years. This is the promise of a new technology developed at Cambridge University. These pocket projectors will have no lenses and no light bulbs. Instead, these future battery-powered tiny projectors will rely on holographic technology and special algorithms. In "Holograms enable pocket projectors," Technology Research News explains that a 2D hologram will be created on a microdisplay and projected by using a laser beam. This has been possible because the researchers have written special algorithms which generates the holograms a million times faster than standard ones.
this differs from the matchbox projector earlier in the year.
Hopefully this technology will develop into something high quality, and eliminate the need to continually buy expensive bulbs.

This sounds incredible. I can't even begin to imagine the possibilities. I just upgraded my phone to a Nokia 3650 and I have to say it is changing me. I can only begin to use its' functionality, with a projector, or should I say holographic imager(?), it would just continue to break down the walls to the hand-held multi-media device that is my dream. Thnx for the nfo Brad.

Is that Britney Spears or Kelly?
